Businesses may be underestimating the effect the government's new Carbon Reduction Commitment (CRC) will have on their operations.

This is according to a new report by PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), which has revealed firms that do a poor job of cutting their greenhouse gas output could add as much as 20 per cent to their annual energy costs in five years' time.

A spokeswoman for the Renewable Energy Centre recently hailed the scheme as one of the most positive carbon-cutting incentives to be introduced by the government.
